Isayama did not stick that landing...139 was mediocre and all around disappointment. Do I think it's complete garbage like everyone else thinks? No. Do I think it's amazing like others are saying? God No. Isayama had good ideas but fumbled it in the end. This ending was rushed and it's disappointing to see. I'm going to be honest and say chapter 139 killed my mood to write Attack on Titan fanfics or even read them. It disappointed me so much but, I sucked it up and now I'm here. Hopefully this chapter turned out well because I did have to force myself to write this.

Chapter 6

"FUCK YOU HORSEFACE!"

"FUCK YOU YEAGER!"

Armin sighed again for the fifteenth time today. They were all sitting in the schools newspaper room. It became the hangout spot after school for all of them in a couple of days. They all had truly bonded. Jean and Eren had gotten closer, even though they didn't want to admit it. Armin and Marco were no longer scared of Jean(well they weren't scared as much) and Jean had definitely gotten softer on them. He wasn't as much of an ass, it was nice.

"FUCK YOU!"

Oh right, Jean and Eren were arguing. Again. As per usual something ridiculous had set off this particular argument.

"ORCA'S SHOULDN'T BE LOCKED UP IN CAGES AND FORCED TO PERFORM LIKE SOME DAMN CIRCUS ACT!THEY DESERVE FREEDOM!" Shouted Eren.

"THEY ARE KEPT IN CAPTIVITY TO HELP THEM HEAL! THEY HAVE A BETTER CHANCE WITH US THAN OUT IN THE WILD!" Jean yelled back loudly.

Armin just shook his head while Marco chuckled at the exchange. "EVERY CREATURE DESERVES THE RIGHT TO BE FREE!" Eren continued to argue while grabbing Jeans collar. "IF THEY NEED HELP THEN FREEDOM NEEDS TO BE TAKEN AWAY FOR THEIR OWN GOOD!" Jean shouted grabbing Eren's collar in retaliation. Armin seeing this, and not wanting another fist fight to break out between the two, decided now would be a good time to intervene. He got up and walked up to the two trying to separate them. It was chaos as the three boys were all yelling and struggling. Marco laughed at the image and quickly snapped a picture of the three. None of them heard the shutter of the camera and Marco simply smiled as he continued to watch the exchange.

It was fun.

RINGGGGG!

Jean grabbed his lunch and was about to meet up with Eren, Armin, and Marco. For lunch they liked to hang out in a secluded garden on the schools premises. The three were quite shocked when Eren had brought them to it, they never knew such a great place existed and they all had gotten fond of it. Apparently it was Eren's secret place but he finally decided to show them all, he may dislike Yeager but he can do some pretty cool stuff.

"JEAN!"

Jean turned his head when he heard his name being shouted. It took him a couple of seconds but he realized the table where the shout originated from was filled with the popular kids, his old "friends". It sat Reiner, Bertholdt, Historia, Ymir, Hitch and Marlowe. After the fight with Eren, it was safe to say he wasn't as liked anymore by the popular kids and it also didn't help that he was hanging around Arlet and Freckles. Quirking his eyebrow, he looked at the table questioningly and saw Reiner wave at him with a smile. It seemed as though he was the one who shouted at him. Jean thought for a few seconds to just ignore him and leave but decided it'd be best to find out what he wants. With a sigh, Jean slowly trudged his way over and plopped down in the empty seat across from him.

He took a glance at the group surrounding him. Historia, the rich snobby cheerleader, the "Queen", she was currently on her phone not really paying attention to anything, including the person currently speaking towards her. Ymir, the girl who does anything for Historia and spoils her rotten. There was Hitch who makes sure to please Historia to keep herself high up on the social ladder. Next to Hitch was Marlowe who was their class president and he constantly talks about ways to improve their school. There was Bertholdt as well and he was Reiners personal gopher and the groups messenger man. Then finally, Reiner himself, the schools jock and resident "King", he was also very well known to be an exceptional martial artist, no one wanted to mess with him. Once he had finished taking in the view, Jean narrowed his eyes at Reiner and decided to ask the question that was plaguing his mind.

"What's up Reiner?"

Reiner merely raised his eyebrow and smiled before he responded, "Nothings wrong I-" "I asked him to call you over." Historia interrupted. Jean turned his head to look at the blonde girl and raised his eyebrow questioningly. "Ooookkkkaaaayyyy." Jean dragged in response. This was weird, usually Historia ignored everything around her. She never bothered with anything and it's kinda of a shock to be called by her of all people. Jean signaled with his head for Historia to continue speaking and that he was listening. Historia saw the head shake and decided to voice her reason to get his attention "You hang out with the guy who kicked your ass right?" Jean chocked on his spit when he heard this. When people put it like that, it was a bit odd. "Well, it doesn't matter much." Historia continued "Just have him come meet me at the field later today after school, I want to talk to him alone." Jean was about to refute and question Historia when he saw Reiner glare at him. He saw the large boys fist clench and a vein in his forehead throb.

It was well known Reiner would do anything for Historia and it was also very well known he was a jealous type. Ymir also was frowning very hard, not liking the fact Historia wanted to speak with the 'Yeagerbomb' alone. Ymir and Reiner were almost kindred spirits in a way and they were both having their own mental battles if they should listen to Historia or take care of Eren themselves. Jean waited, suspecting for her to say more but she doesn't and turned her head back down to continue looking at her phone, ignoring the others around her. Jean figured that must be his queue to leave, so he got up, grabbed his food, and walked out the lunch room. Before he exited, Jean decided to look back at the table and saw it had a different atmosphere to it now. Reiner's aura itself had the table suffocating and only people with some type of fighting instinct could feel it.

It made Jean shiver.

Eren was lying underneath the tree in the garden resting while Armin and Marco sat a few feet away from him. They were talking about some anime, Attack on-something, he wasn't sure and he didn't care. He had his eyes closed and was just enjoying the breeze. This was the life, nothing could ruin it.

"Hey, Yeager."

Nothing.

"Yeager."

Yup, nothing.

"YOU LITTLE SHIT!"

Eren's eyes snapped open in pain and anger. The bastard just kicked him in the shin. Eren held his shin and shouted at Jean in retaliation "WHAT THE FUCK HORSEFACE!" Jean just narrowed his eyes and shook his head in annoyance before replying, "Well, I wouldn't have to do that if you decided to actually pay attention to what I need to tell you." Eren rolled his eyes and looked at Jean. It was weird, usually Jean would retaliate in the form of an insult but it seemed like he was serious all of a sudden. Eren let go of his shin and sat cross legged and raised his eyebrow questioningly at Jean. Armin and Marco also had stopped their discussion to pay attention. Jean had been a little late meeting with them so they were wondering what had happened. Once Jean saw he had Eren's undivided attention, he decided to let him know "Historia wanted me to let you know, she wants to meet you at the field after school today. Alone."

Armin and Marco's eyes widened in shock as they turned to look at each other. Eren just sighed and scratched the back of his head. He turned his head to look at some bushes and clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Soooooo?" Jean raised his voice questioningly at Eren. Eren merely raised his eyebrow and responded "So what?" Jean sighed forgetting the boy could be pretty stupid at times-scratch that, all the time. "Are you going to go or not?" Jean questioned him . Eren closed his eyes and shrugged his shoulders before he collapsed onto his back underneath the trees shade again. He was just going to rest before afternoon classes started. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT RESPONSE?" Jean shouted at Eren, pulling the boy out from his chance to go into dream land. Eren opened his eyes and glared at Jean putting his thoughts into words "It means I'm not going."

Jean sighed a bit before he responded "Good choice, I don't trust her. It's best to steer clear." Eren merely nodded his head and he was about to close his eyes when Armin spoke "You can't do that." Eren stopped himself again and propped his body on his elbow. Eren narrowed his eyes, they were glowing again, and responded "And why not? I'm free to do what I want." Armin sighed a bit before he removed his glasses to clean them. As he was cleaning off the smudges with his shirt, Armin spoke "Historia is the schools "Queen Bee", if you ignore what she says it won't go well." Eren looked at Marco and he simply nodded his head in silent agreement with Armin. Jean sighed before he decided to reluctantly agree, "Arlets right as well. If you don't go it may cause problems." He paused a bit before he continued "But she's not the only one you should look out for. Keep an eye out for Reiner and the rest of their cronies." Jean was dead serious and Eren didn't like it. So, Eren smirked a bit and decided to respond while laughing "Oh horse boy, what's this? Are you actually worried for me?"

Jean dropped his jaw in shock and responded "OH FUCK YOU YEAGER!" His face had morphed into one filled with embarrassment and annoyance, he was also slightly blushing. Eren just continued to laugh at Jeans embarrassment before he got tackled. The two were now rough housing and the two other boys laughed along with Eren at Jeans embarrassment. Marco seeing this, decided to quickly snap a picture of the two rolling on the floor. He smiled a bit when he took a look at the picture. Jean was smiling while he had Eren in a headlock. Jean wouldn't admit it at the time but, he was smiling and laughing along with the others. He was enjoying himself.

RIIIINGGGG!

That was the final bell of the day and school was out. Eren sighed a bit as he packed up his books into his backpack. He walked through the halls as he remembered his friends parting words. They told him to be careful and stay alert. Unfortunately, they wouldn't be staying after school today, they all had to study for some tests and instead of doing a study group they all went their own separate ways home. While his thoughts were on his friends they wound up wandering to the goth girl that gave him so much trouble. Armin had told him she had gotten sick and it annoyed him a bit. What was the point of even helping her if she got sick anyway? Eren just shook his head in annoyance wanting to clear those thoughts away.

He didn't want Mikasa on his mind right now. He had to focus, their schools "Queen Bee" wanted something from him, it both annoyed and worried him. He's only exchanged a few words with the girl before to keep up his reputation as the "Normal Guy" who can interact with anyone but now, she called for him specifically. It was weird. Maybe the popular kids where finally making their move? If that were true, he definitely needed to be ready. He doesn't know what they'll do but it's best to go in with a clear and calm head. With that, Eren took a deep breath and cleared his mind of all his quick running thoughts to just focus on the present.

A minute later Eren had finally made it to their schools field. He looked around and spotted a mop of blonde hair. It was Historia and she was sitting in the bleachers on her phone. She was cupping her face in her other hand and her eyes were just lazily looking at her electronic device. She was wearing her cheerleading outfit as well. He saw some of her hair fall onto her nose and Historia quickly tucked the strand behind her ear. Eren's breathing hitched a bit, say what you will but, the girl was definitely pretty. The long blonde hair, blue eyes, and short height made her quite popular with the boys. Eren may be stupid when it came down to stuff like this but, even he had to admit that Historia was attractive.

Shaking himself out of those thoughts, he walked up to her and got her attention by coughing. Historia looked up in annoyance before she realized who it was. She widened her eyes before she got up quickly. "Ah! Good you're here!" She spoke while dusting off the back of her skirt. Eren simply nodded his head in acknowledgment. Historia raised her eyebrow noticing the lack of response and she simply shrugged her shoulders before continuing to speak, "Well, let's get right down to business." Eren nodded his head again acknowledging her and not giving a response. This annoyed Historia a bit but she pressed on "I want you to be my boyfriend." Eren choked on his spit before he shakily responded "W-W- WHAT!?" This definitely threw him for a loop. Of all the things he was preparing himself for, this was not one of them.

Historia continued speaking. "I like you, or rather, I'm interested in you." Eren gawked at the girl and Historia decided to elaborate, "You see, I think we are very much alike. Don't think I didn't notice. You use to walk around without much interest in anything and always flew under the radar." Eren widened his eyes in shock at what he was hearing "And now all of a sudden you've surrounded yourself with some people to try and cover up that boredom, just like me. I can tell, you don't care for any of them. They all annoy you, they probably bore you even more because they're losers." Eren gulped a bit before Historia continued "So become my boyfriend and surround yourself with more interesting people who can cure that boredom a bit better. After all-" Historia threw her hair back having the wind blow it a bit "That's what I do." She finished.

Eren stood there in shock with wide eyes for a bit. Historia smiled and let out a small giggle looking at Eren's expression. "Of course he's in shock, he's finally found someone who understands him." Historia thought to herself confidently. Eren gulped a bit and shook his head before he straightened his posture. He narrowed his eyes. Historia didn't notice the boys change in demeanor and decided to continue speaking, "So become my boy-" "No." Eren interrupted. Historia's smile faded and was replaced by an angry scowl. "What was that?" She responded, she had never been denied before. "You heard me." Eren spoke lowly, almost angrily. There was quiet for a bit, nothing could be heard besides the howl of the wind.

Historia's angry scowl changed into one of confusion. Then it clicked for her and she narrowed her eyes, "Wait, don't tell me. Are you and that weirdo goth girl actually going out?" Historia questioned. Eren choked on his spit blushing a bit, he coughed to clear his throat before he responded "N-n-no we aren't but she has nothing to do with it." Historia narrowed her eyes before another idea came into her head. She smiled wickedly and walked closer to Eren. Eren raised an eyebrow in confusion and Historia quickly wrapped her arms around Eren's neck. Eren not expecting this, wrapped his arms around Historia's waist to keep his balance. Historia then stood on her tip toes to increase her height and she got her face extremely close to Eren's. He could feel her breathe mingle with his and Eren widened his eyes as he felt his cheeks heat up a bit. He looked at Historia, her pink lips, blue eyes, and flowing golden hair. Historia giggled when she realized Eren was enthralled and spoke lowly with as much seduction she could bring in "I can give you what she can't. I'm way better than her." And before Eren realized it, her lips were attached to his.

It took Eren a few seconds to process what was happening and his mind started wandering

"Here. Take this scarf." Said a young, 9 year old Eren. He then proceeded to wrap a red scarf around a girl with long black hair and gray eyes, clumsily.

Once finished, he questioned the girl

"Warm right?"

The girl teared up a bit before she responded "Yes, it's very warm but I shouldn't keep it, it's yours."

He grabbed the girls hand and spoke, "Don't worry! You can keep it and whenever you need me to wrap that scarf around you again, I will!" Responded Eren happily.

The girl just nodded her head with a smile and tears in her eyes.

Eren widened his eyes in shock and pushed Historia away. She fell down and the girl looked up at the boy in anger. Eren panted a bit and wiped off a sweat drop. He no longer could compose himself and let his emotions do the talking "I AM NOTHING LIKE YOU! I DON'T FIND THEM ANNOYING AND I'M NOT FORCED TO HANG OUT WITH THEM. I CARE FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE MY FRIENDS!" Eren shouted angrily. He turned around and walked away with loud footsteps leaving Historia behind.

After a couple of seconds of quiet, Historia who had been left on floor got up to her feet slowly. She looked in the direction of the retreating boy with cold, dead, blue eyes. She parted her lips and let the wind blow her hair again, "Big mistake Yeager." She whispered.

BRRIIINNNNG!

"Ah, there's the bell, schools finally over." Mikasa thought to herself hearing the bell a distance away from the entrance of the school. She had come to school in order to pick up some work she missed out. Armin already had let her know they had headed home because of testing and she sighed a bit, she wished she could meet them, and Eren. Mikasa blushed remembering the boy. She hadn't seen him since Saturday. She couldn't help but let her thoughts wander to that night where she spent in Eren's arms and the chaotic morning on Saturday. Her thoughts then trailed off to her brother. He was not happy when she came home, Mikasa had failed to let him know where she was and had given him a heart attack. Even though he taught her how to defend herself, he still worried. Her brother grounded her on the spot when she returned. It got even worse when she refused to say which friends home she had stayed at, her brother knew Sasha was out of town so she could only stay at her one male friends house. Her brother knew Armin wouldn't try anything but, he still didn't like it. Then Mikasa denied staying at Armins. With this, her brother figured out she had a new male friend and he wasn't happy. She really needed to learn how to keep her mouth shut.

Carla also couldn't vouch for her as she had dropped the girl off quickly and didn't get the chance to meet her brother, if anything, that was for the best. Carla would've surely let him know what happened and it would have made things a LOT more worse. Looking at it, her joke may have gone too far. "Oh well." Mikasa mumbled to herself as she kept walking. The girl was currently cutting through the schools field. She needed to visit the classrooms near the field because they housed some of her teachers there. It would be easier to just cut through instead of walking the proper path to them.

Going back to her earlier thoughts, Mikasa knew her brother would continue to push her for the boys name. She had refused to give it and all it did was enrage her brother even more. But after she got sick her brother got soft again, he also ungrounded her, stating "Getting sick is punishment enough." She smiled a bit, her brother in the end is a big softie when it came down to her. Mikasa was still lost in thought when she heard some sounds coming from the bleachers to her right. Mikasa had finished cutting through the field during the time she was lost in her thoughts and she was currently walking behind the bleachers. She was going to keep walking when she heard it again. It sounded different this time, when she focused she realized it was people talking. Mikasa quirked her eyebrow in confusion at this and let her curiosity win. She walked closer towards where she heard the talking was coming from. As she approached, she realized it was a guy and a girl talking.

Mikasa wondered what people were even doing out here, normally everyone would go home quickly after the bell signaled, there was also no practice for any of the schools athletic teams because of tests so she wondered who could be out here. With her curiosity fully aroused, Mikasa got behind the bleachers and peaked around the corner near the stairs to see what was going on. That's when she saw it, Eren and Historia. They were talking about something, she was unsure of what they were conversing about exactly. She was too far away to hear anything. It also didn't help the breeze that was flowing currently. It was making it harder to hear. There was a sudden gust of wind and it whipped Mikasa's hair into her eyes and she closed them while trying to untangle the strands. They were getting in her way. When she finally moved them out of the way and opened her eyes, she felt like a bucket of ice cold water had been dropped on her. Mikasa had wished she kept her eyes closed. If she had surrounded herself in the darkness a little while longer, she wouldn't have to bear witness to this image.

Eren and Historia were kissing.

It felt like her whole world had shattered. Her breathing quickened and she placed a hand over her chest. It felt like the muscles in her chest were tearing and she hunched over to alleviate the pain. Mikasa then, all of a sudden, felt some liquid trail down her cheeks. Odd. Maybe some sweat? Or, left over drinks that had been tossed on the floor of the bleachers were dripping down the wall onto her face? Mikasa wasn't sure. She decided to figure out what the liquid was and she placed her fingers on her cheeks. Mikasa pulled back her fingers to inspect the intrusive liquid. It was clear. She was realizing more of this liquid was falling and it was making it increasingly difficult to see. She pulled back from the wall and realized the liquid wasn't coming from the wall. It was coming from her eyes. She was crying. With this revelation, she ran.

Mikasa ran.

If Mikasa had stuck around a bit longer and watched. She would have witnessed what happened after.

And there you guys go. Hopefully you all enjoyed, like I said, this one was difficult to write because of Chapter 139. Isayama fumbled hard but it's the ending we got and we are stuck with it. I think the best part of the chapter was the Bird motif, it was by far the best part everything else...mediocre to disappointing.

But besides that, CocoRich and StrangeHuman shout out to you guys! I love reading your reviews and I appreciate you leaving a review on every chapter!

Remember to Read and Review guys!
